Pregnant Cleaner Shrimp? Pics Included!
 
Are these egg sacs? I have one skunk cleaner, one fire shrimp, and one coral banded shrimp in my tank. Enjoy the pics!

It takes 150 days from hatch to adult and 30 some molts. Of a few hundred eggs only a few survive. And the people getting that success arnt giving out secrets. Not enough is known about the proper techniques of rearing the larvae. Also, "generally" it takes two to produce firtile eggs. If your shrimp drops the eggs in a couple days it is because they are not firtile.

you can buy shrimp with eggs a lot of the times some make it by accident some times. sick_lid bred them awhile back I be leave he told me it was a lot of work and was not really worth it so he stopped.

So much happening in our tanks all the time. . . gotta love it. Im just going to let nature take its course. It would be super neat to try and raise them but ill try and master the art of keeping corals alive and healthy first! Good times :mrgreen:
